It was a little cold, wet, and muddy without any wildflowers or stars, but the clouds were beautiful and we got to use the truck awning side walls for the first time!
Month: April 2026
We finally made it back to gymnastics, and Cato had just as much fun as ever on the trampoline, running the obstacle course, and learning somersaults. He still insists on getting stamps on his tummy so pulled up his shirt at the end of class lol.
Suzanne and Zihla came down for the weekend to visit, so we enjoyed strolling around down town SLO (including some shopping), going out for drinks at Cielo, Sunday brunch at Novo, Sycamore Hot Springs, and Avila Valley Barn. We also tested the range on Zihlas car… there is, in fact, at least 3 miles of gas left after the car reads empty 😳
Fun 5 day visit with the grandparents, Uncle Dee, and Cousin Nolan. Daily outings included an indoor playground, Little Tykes rope course at Natural Bridge Caverns (no cave tour), Yanaguana Gardens playground, LegoLand Discovery at the mall, and the Doseum Children’s Museum. Cato was determined to enjoy the pool, but it was a little too cold to stay in for long.
For this month’s project, Cato got to make a barn planter for some tomatoes!
Mom got to help with wrangling 21 preschoolers for an Easter egg hunt at school…quite the exercise in herding cats, lol. While the bunny was hiding eggs outside, Ms. Kimberly read themed stories inside (with curtains drawn).
